Journal Article
Preventive effects of progressive resistance training of different intensities on breast cancer–related lymphedema
2025
Overview
Purpose
Explore the preventive effects of varying intensity progressive resistance exercise on breast cancer-related lymphedema.
Methods
A total of 114 breast cancer patients who underwent axillary lymph node dissection at Tangshan People’s Hospital from January to April 2024 were included. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: the control group received conventional care; intervention group 1 received conventional care + low-intensity progressive resistance exercise; and intervention group 2 received routine nursing + moderate and high-intensity progressive resistance exercise. Body composition and grip strength were assessed pre-intervention, post-intervention, and at 3 and 6 months follow-up to compare differences among the groups.
Results
(1) Body composition: At post-intervention, 3 and 6 months follow-up, segmental water differences and extracellular water ratios, along with 1- and 5-kHz SFBIA in both intervention groups, were lower than in the control group. Intervention group 2 had a lower extracellular water ratio than group 1 at post-intervention, and at 3 months follow-up, group 2 showed lower water differences and extracellular water ratios than group 1, with slight variations at 6 months (
P
< 0.001). (2) Grip strength: At post-intervention, 3 months and 6 months follow-up, grip strength in intervention group 1 and intervention group 2 was higher than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (
P
< 0.001).
Conclusion
Resistance exercise enhances muscle strength and prevents lymphedema, with moderate-high-intensity exercise proving more effective than low intensity. Adverse events were minimal, suggesting that increasing resistance exercise intensity, while considering participants’ conditions, may yield better preventive outcomes.
